The definition of the “best” export that the United States could possibly have is: One that is Win-Win for everyone, but especially for us here in the US. Also, the export commodity should be one that we want to export. Finally, the commodity would be inexpensive to obtain for those to whom we export it, at least at first.
With those criteria in mind, I will tell you that I’m speaking of the United States “exporting” to the People’s Republic China (PRC) one Barack Hussein Obama. I can see the question marks appearing in that bubble above your head as you say to yourself, “Huh?” But just think how much better off the US would be if Obama were comfortably ensconced in Beijing rather than in Washington, DC. The increase in Chinese military power would grind to a halt, making the PRC less of a threat to the US. The PRC economy, now increasing at the rate of 8% a year or more, would also grind to a halt and then begin a downward spiral as the US economy has done. This would be especially true if he were to take Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner with him to guide the PRC economy. Night and day printing of the Chinese currency, the Yuan, would alleviate the greatly weakened US currency and restore the dollar to its former luster. While much of the present danger to the world from North Korea exists because China is North Korea’s best friend and refuses to rein in Kim Jong-Il, just imagine the terror that would result in Pyongyang upon discovering that Obama was now their best friend. Bye-bye Kim. The Chinese people would notice little difference, if any, were Obama to be exported to Beijing. They already are very much used to being told by the government what to do and then being forced to do it. The more I think about this, the more I think that the entire White House, the entire Cabinet, the entire workforce of several departments (Education and the EPA for just two), should be exported as a package deal for the same low price — Free. As a bonus, we’ll throw in several Members of Congress at no extra charge.
What about the Chinese people? If we advertise the deal properly, they won’t find out until afterward what happened to them. After all, look at how we, the citizens of the US, were fooled in 2008. By the time the Chinese people hear the laughter in the US subside and a huge sigh of relief follow, it will be too late for them. A “No-Deposit No-Return, Sold As-Is” rule certainly would be in order.
Finally, I must note that Mr. Obama, himself, apparently is in favor of the deal. He said recently, “….. it would be so much easier to be the president of China.“ The pressure on Obama from every angle, domestic and foreign, would, at a minimum, be greatly reduced, perhaps totally eliminated. Obama would finally find himself in an environment in which he could issue orders and have them followed rather than constantly questioned and countermanded. Basketball courts and golf course could abound. Worldwide television holds the promise of viewing March Madness in Beijing. The deciding factor is that the fabrics available to Mrs. Obama for her wardrobe would be enhanced incredibly . Begin the deal.
